Phoenix police are set to seek charges in the 7-year-old death of an Ahwatukee Foothills man — originally written off as a suicide — after a woman claiming to be the dead man’s girlfriend said on a national radio talk show that she killed him.

Detectives have continued to work on the case that drew attention on Nov. 3, 2006, when nationally syndicated radio talk-show host Tom Leykis took a call on his live show from a woman claiming she got away with murder. Police have linked the call to the March 2001 death of Tortsen Rockwood.
